Prym being amazing

Last year I started a fabulous agreement with Prym to use their products and talk about them on my blog and social media channels. I was so happy because the products are amazing quality and even simple things like their loop turners are utter game changers. Seriously.

Some of my Prym supplies survived the fire because they were away from the source of the fire and crucially the lids on the Prym containers lock down to seal off anything getting through. That was super important as so many of the plastic tubs that stored my stash didn’t lock down and I lost a lot to smoke and water damage.

I sent Prym a quick email to let them know that makes of any kind would be a bit scarce until we were back on our feet and I things like sewing machines and things again.

Honestly I cannot describe how amazing they were. They immediately sent back messages of concern and support and offered to outfit my entire sewing area again. To make sure they knew they were serious they got in contact with Maria aka velosews and told her to make sure I really did give a list of everything I needed to replace.

Maria even came by and helped me make the list to ensure I didn’t forget things like hand sewing needles and rulers.

A few weeks ago the parcels arrived and I’m still blown away by it. Machine needles, hand sewing equipment, elastics, trims and so much more. They’ve replaced all the haberdashery I’d lost and then added in so much more for me to play with. Honestly when something so big as a fire happens it’s easy to think about the big stuff you’ve lost but weird when you go to reach for the little things like needles or elastic and realise you no longer have any. So for them to replenish all those things is a huge gift to me to making things feel way more normal.

Thank you so very much to the entire team at Prym for going above and beyond and thanks to Maria for helping me make my list. I’ll be doing my best to share my reviews, thoughts and projects and host some giveaways with everything throughout the year. It’s going to be fun.

Working with Prym Products

A few weeks ago I was introduced to the team at Prym Consumer who were interested in getting more sewers using their products. I’d seen some of their products being used online and was impressed at how clever they were.

After some back and forth discussing ideas they decided the best thing was to send me a bunch of products and essentially let me play.

Cue  2 enormous boxes of products turning up just after The Englishman broke his shoulder. I had to unpack straight away as the boxes were too big to stay inside our tiny apartment (though the cat was thrilled with having more boxes to sit in). I had a quick look and my jaw dropped at how fabulous a quality the products were. Due to all that we have had going on I packed them all up and popped them to one side.

Fast forward to this week and it’s been my first time to sit down and go through everything properly and figure out how I’m going to use it all. Seriously it was like Christmas, so much good stuff and my brain kind of exploded on all the ideas I kept coming up with.

As always I’m going to be honest about the products. If I love them I’m going to say so, if I’m impressed I’ll say so, if it’s too fiddly or tricky or just plain doesn’t work then I’ll be telling you that too. While I got the products for free and intend on using them all, I’m going to be upfront about the whole thing and it will be utterly transparent.

Am hoping it will introduce you and me to some great new products.For anyone who is keen on giving some a try? The awesome team at Minerva Crafts is offering you a discount on any Prym products. Just enter SUSAN at the checkout
